“The beauty of science fiction is its open canvas. You can hypothesize about any element of the world. It doesn't have to be laser battles and things exploding, you can be JG Ballad and maybe just change one little thing about the real world and that becomes science fiction.” WorldLittlesRealFictionBattleElementsScience FictionLittle ThingsReal WorldCanvasBalladsExplodingLasers Author:Duncan Jones
“The genius is not in how much Stanley Kubrick does in “2001: A Space Odyssey,'' but in how little. This is the work of an artist so sublimely confident that he doesn't include a single shot simply to keep our attention. He reduces each scene to its essence, and leaves it on screen long enough for us to contemplate it, to inhabit it in our imaginations. Alone among science-fiction movies, “2001'' is not concerned with thrilling us, but with inspiring our awe.” LittlesLongDoeEnoughArtistImaginationSpaceAttentionFictionGeniusSceneShotsConcernedEssenceScience FictionScreensAweContemplatingThrillingStanleyOdysseyScience Fiction MovieSpace Odyssey2001 A Space Odyssey Book:33 Movies to Restore Your Faith in Humanity: Ebert's Essentials Source: 33 Movies to Restore Your Faith in Humanity: Ebert's Essentials

“My approach to 'Star Trek' was, 'I know science fiction, and I know screen writing.' That was very arrogant of me, but you really need to be a little bit arrogant to think that what you have to say is good enough to justify the expense of hundreds of thousands - now millions of dollars - to make an episode of the TV show.” ThinkingKnowsNeedsWritingLittlesEnoughShowsStarsBitsFictionMillionsTvsApproachLittle BitScience FictionDollarsScreensJustifyExpensesGood EnoughArrogantEpisodesTv Shows Author:David Gerrold
